OVERVIEW</b></h3><div><b><br>
About the National Museum of Asian Art</b></div><div>
Through an ambitious program of collection, conservation, exhibitions, programming, and research, the Smithsonian&rsquo;s National Museum of Asian Art serves as a global and national resource for understanding the arts and cultures of Asia and their interaction with America, past and present. By presenting the arts and cultures of Asia in their extraordinary diversity, we aim to exemplify foundational ideals of curiosity, creativity, and respect. In a world growing ever more interdependent, we believe that cross-cultural understanding is crucial to personal and collective well-being.<br>
</div><div>NMAA opened in 1923 as America&rsquo;s first national art museum and the first Asian art museum in the United States. The museum now stewards one of the world&rsquo;s most important collections of Asian art, with works dating from antiquity to the present, from China, Japan, Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the pre-Islamic Near East, and the Islamic world (inclusive of Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa). The museum also stewards an important collection of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American art.<br>
</div><div>Today, NMAA is emerging as a leading national and global resource for understanding the arts, cultures, and societies of Asia, especially at their intersection with America. Guided by the belief that the future of art museums lies in collaboration, increased access, and transparency, NMAA is fostering new ways to engage with its audiences while maintaining its commitment to excellence.<br>
</div><div>NMAA celebrated its centennial in 2023 and is determined to make the museum&rsquo;s second century as accomplished as its first. The museum is building on its core strengths&mdash;the quality and depth of our collections, scholarship, and conservation&mdash;while embracing experimentation and new approaches to its work. The museum is transforming digitally, physically, and programmatically to draw in new audiences to celebrate, learn, and connect with Asian and American art and cultures, past and present.<br>
</div><div>Located on the National Mall in Washington, DC, the museum is free and open 364 days a year. The Smithsonian, which is the world&rsquo;s largest museum complex, welcomes twenty to thirty million visitors yearly.

<h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>About National Museum of Asian Art</b></h3><div>
Established a century ago, the National Museum of Asian Art was the Smithsonian&rsquo;s first art museum. Committed to preserving, exhibiting, researching, and interpreting art in ways that deepen our collective understanding of Asia and the world, the museum stewards one of North America&rsquo;s largest and most comprehensive collections of Asian art.<br>
<br>
Its rich holdings bring the arts of Asia into direct dialogue with an important collection of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American works, providing an essential platform for creative collaboration and cultural exchange between the United States, Asia, and the Middle East.<br>
<br>
Beginning with a 1906 gift that paved the way for the museum&rsquo;s opening in 1923, the National Museum of Asian Art is a leading resource for visitors, students, and scholars in the United States and internationally. Its galleries, laboratories, archives, and library are located on the National Mall in Washington, DC, and are part of the world&rsquo;s largest museum complex, which typically reports more than 27 million visits each year. The museum is free and open to the public 364 days a year, making its exhibitions, programs, learning opportunities, and digital initiatives accessible to global audiences.<br>
